GLOBAL CAMPAIGNS TOWARDS LOCAL MANUFACTURE OF ANTI-HIV/AIDS DRUGS IN CONTINUOUS FLOW SYSTEMS

ABSTRACT

Drug shortage and inaccessibility, stemming from exorbitant pharmaceutical drug prices, is only but a fraction of the many factors affecting global health. Most recently, the world was reminded of the role of pandemics in fast tracking the above-mentioned problem. A potentially sustainable solution would entail establishing cost effective and efficient local drug manufacture capacity in different regions. Using the HIV/AIDS epidemic as a case example, efforts by various research groups towards this goal are presented herein. © 2022 TeknoScienze. All rights reserved.
